Inside the Carlsbad Caverns
The Carlsbad Caverns are a sprawling underground site with over a hundred caves. A century ago this year, it was named a national monument. Seven years later, it became a national park. As the decades have gone on, more and more people have visited the site to see the underground wonders we know about - and explore the ones we don't yet. Jeff Glor reports.

One of the most unique and memorable parks I’ve ever visited. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Worked in the oil fields of Southeastern New Mexico from 2018-2020, and our company’s man camp where it housed workers was located in Carlsbad, NM. Pretty small town back then I think somewhere around 30,000 people with not very man attractions. Growing up a city boy, it wasn’t the most exciting place to live but what I could appreciate about that area of that country, and Carlsbad specifically was the beautiful scenic natural views. It was through living there that I began to appreciate the sunsets. Every day there was a breathtakingly different but equally beautiful sunset. I my have so many pictures of them that bring back the fondest of memories. I hated to leave but we were all laid off at the start of the pandemic. Hate that I never got to visit the Carlsbad Caverns but I did often drive to El Paso, TX from Carlsbad passing through the Guadalupe National Park about 30 miles southwest. Another tourist attraction with equally beautiful views and scenery. That entire area of the country is unforgettable; Just an awe inspiring place with unique mountain views and canyons. I would definitely recommend anyone to visit this place. It’s simply gorgeous 👍🏽
250 feet high main chamber = that's as tall as a 25 story building! Incredible. A great story beautifully told -- thank you, Jeff, for your excellent report.
Carlsbad is amazing
Spent a week with my best friend in Carlsbad in Spring ‘84. We went to the Caverns. Very cool, especially the eatery at the bottom.
Dude the coolest place I’ve ever been
Went there in 88 with grandparents Gertrude and Reyner. Spooky and fascinating, moist, refreshing smells. Worth a visit!

I absolutely love that area of the country. Blue skies, sunshine everyday, very rarely it rains, and the air is clean. It’s almost dam near impossible to wake up every day, look outside, and not be happy. Please Visit 👍🏽
The cave was known to prehistoric inhabitants. Evidence has been found near the entrance to indicate this such as: a sandal; pictographs (still visible on the wall) and a ring midden (a rock-lined pit for roasting mescal and other agave). In modern times, it was known to the locals; but, the individual who is credited with starting the national attention was a 16 year old James Larkin White (Jim) in 1898 when he entered the cave by way of a makeshift ladder of barbed wire and sticks.
seen it least 18 times
i can google it but you never once said where it is located.
Uh, Jim White found it by noticing the huge hole in the ground. He also discovered and explored many other caves in the area.
A teenage boy "discovered"m them...
